Painting | Sparkling Cities inspired by Hundertwasser | 5-7 years

Capture the fun and colour of a shimmering city. Maybe it’s Sydney or another favourite city! Kids will look at the colours and patterns of famous Austrian artist Hundertwasser, then they will dig deep into their imaginations to create their own cityscape. Using bright watercolour, oil pastels, and maybe a bit of bling city drawings will come alive!

This class is aimed at kids in Kindergarten to year 1 at Primary School

Frequently asked questions

Did you know you could stay all day? Children enrolled in morning and afternoon sessions will be supervised through the 1 hour lunch break. Just pack lunch and extra snacks.The break may include a visit to Lambert Park Playground just around the corner at the end of Davies Street – so bring a hat and sunscreen. There is NO additional fee for this supervision

My child is older/younger than the suggested age, can they do the class? Our holiday classes are structured with age appropriate activities. If children are older than the listed age target they can do the class as long as they are aware there will be younger kids in the class and this does not worry them. However it is not appropriate for children much younger than the listed age to attend classes aimed at older students (eg a 6 year old enrolled in a class for 8-12s or a 9 year old in class for teens).

How many children are in each class? We keep classes to 12 students to ensure maximum learning opportunity.

Are materials included in the workshop fee? Yes, the fee for each school holiday class includes all materials and tuition.

Site Directions

Art Est. Art School is located in a light industrial estate at 67-69 Lords Road, Leichhardt. We have two venues: the main studios are in Unit 4 where painting, drawing and printmaking classes are held. The ceramics studio (clay work and pottery) is located in Unit 9, the first building on the right as you arrive. Art Est. student parking is the spaces directly outside Units 4 and 9. General visitor parking is also available opposite Unit 4 (under the trees). Tandem parking is in operation in the visitor parking, so please leave a note on your car if you park someone in for any length of time. There is plenty of unmetered on-street parking available.

It is important to remind you to only park in the signposted Art Est. spaces OR the general visitor parking. Please do not park in front of any other tenant’s premises. This includes loading dock next door as this is in use 24 hours/7 days by our neighbours.

Light Rail runs every 15 minutes from Central Station. Alight at ‘Marion’, cross over at the pedestrian crossing and it is a 6 minute walk by the canal path along ‘The Greenway’, then turn left at the pedestrian tunnel with the fish mosaics to reach Lords Road. Art Est. entry is via the second gate, 50 metres up the hill on the left.

Cycle

We’re perfectly positioned along the GreenWay near Hawthorne Canal at Lords Road, so you can walk or cycle here too.
